By, 'Pay as you Go' I mean that it is not unlimited, you buy a certain number of minutes that last for a specific number of days.

The answer still depends a lot on what you are looking for.

Tracfone offers a lot of flexibility and very low prices in their pay as you go prepaid options, but customer service and high end phones are lacking.

In fact, Tracfone is one of the largest prepaid mobile phone companies in America.

Other prepaid cell phone companies have a variety of options including unlimited monthly plans, but the cost is noticeably more expensive than the cheaper Tracfone options, but still cheaper than many contract plans.

Who is Tracfone Right for?

Tracfone is good for anyone looking for a cheap cell phone that does the basics - calling and texting. The initial cost for Tracfone cell phones is very low, typically $50 or less, with many phones around $10-20.

Buying minutes for Tracfone mobile devices is also relatively inexpensive, with a variety of options such as 60 minutes/90 days of service fo $20, alll the way up to 450 minutes/90 days of service for about $100. There are also many other options available at the Tracfone website.

But what about the best prepaid cell phone company?

There are a lot of different prepaid companies to choose from, such as MetroPCS, Cricket, NET10, Straight Talk, Tracfone, and Virgin Mobile prepaid just to name a few (view a more complete list at About.com). So which one is best?

Obviously, the answer is not universal, in other words, the best company for you, will probably not be the best for me.

But you can find the best prepaid cell phone company by looking at what you need from a phone, and comparing that to what the companies offer in phones and service.

Try asking yourself some questions like how often do you talk on the phone? How often do you text people? Do you like to surf the web from your phone? What other features are important?

If you tend to use your phone for talking, texting, and surfing the web frequently, then a prepaid cell phone company with unlimited plans might be best for your. MetroPCS, Straight Talk, and Virgin Mobile are three of many possibilities.

If you don't use your phone for lots of talking, texting and browsing, than a cheaper option like Tracfone might be your best choice.
